and to think, I just paypal'ed my $20 to the site, how fitting. If you would please read the actual thread, I'm asking for other ways to get rid of them, not neccesarily killing them. Your little diatribe about the tree being here longer than me is nice and all, but c'mon. you could say the same thing about hunters. Now I know where the anti-mod sentiment comes from. |

Um, I just got here and can't speak for Paul, but I found your thread and found this: Quoted: Title: [red]How can I kill these birds? [/red] Initial post: or just get rid of them. I'm on a construction site, and its a school we're rebuilding (to the tune of $35mil). There's this big tree in the parking lot that the birds sit in and crap on the cars. [red]Is there some kind of poisoned food I can feed them so they drop dead?[/red] Or some other means of making them get the hell out of here? When you ask about specifically illegal things [b]YOU[/b] leave [b]US[/b] no choice but to lock the thread. The "us vs. you" mentality in this situation was brought about by you, not the Mod involved. IOW, we all would have no choice but to do the same. Suggestion--start another thread asking for ways to [i]discourage[/i] the birds without asking for ways to kill them, which is illegal in virtually all jurisdictions. [;)] |

oh boy...anyway The problem with the owls in this case is that: 1. The jobsite is in the ghetto and they would probably try to steal them and 2. Its a construction site, the last thing I need is the enviro-whackos thinking we've got an endangered species out there. |

Buy a $10.00 car cover ya cheap shit. I hunt. I eat what I kill, and I never commit wanton destruction. I like birds and they have just as much of a right to eat and shit as any other creature, more than some people I know. |

I do find it humorous that someone with the name "soylent_green" is worried about birds. |
| Did he specify what kind of birds? Crows, seagulls, pigeons? While songbirds are protected, some are edible like english house sparrows. We have a cat problem here. Not because there are too many, but they kill more birds and squirrels and leave their carcasses scattered than the 12 yr old neighbor armed with a daisy 4x15 scoped bb rifle. |

Quoted: So I take it we can't talk about killing noisy constuction workers who leave crap all over the neighborhood by leaving out poison-laden fast food or spiked beer? Just checking... [:D] Fortunately for me I'm high enough on the food chain to be able to defend myself, so have at it. Besides, if ya'll discuss your strategy here, it'll help me prepare to defend against it. |
